Title: Lipstick Macro - Purples

"This image is one from a series of macro studies using various cosmetic materials. Coming in very tight and using carefully shaped, focused light reveals an amazing amount of detail in the formulas. The photos speak to the color and finish of the products featured, but are also meant to be enjoyed in an abstract, purely visual way. The intended result is to take the tiny, familiar objects and transform them to new, anomalous landscapes."
